Kelechi Iheanacho is hopeful Leicester City will make a quick return to the Premier League following the Foxes’ relegation on the final day of the 2022–23 season.

Dean Smith’s side defeated West Ham United 2-1 at the King Power Stadium on Sunday.

Everton’s 1-0 home win against Bournemouth, however, sealed their fate.

Leicester City will compete in the Sky Bet Championship next season after nine glorious years in the top flight.

Iheanacho is, however, confident the club will make an instant return to the Premier League.

“I’m so disappointed. I have no words. I don’t know what to say,” Iheanacho told LCTV.

“We’ll try to keep going, stay strong, and hopefully we’ll get back up.”
